NBA Playoffs 2023

[AeroHorn 749]

After getting jaded by watching Warriors winning, it is nice to see another team enjoying playoff success.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Fun game. Curry had some time to get his feet set on the last shot by settled in the old 25 foot runner

[Dutchrudder 11133]

haha, fuck you Golden State.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

What an insane stat

[Vic Mackey 47006]

I'm sure GSW will still win the series but a great start by the Kings tonight. Very fun to watch

[Burt Macklin 19020]

That Kings-Warriors game reminded me of a March Madness game where it just came down to which teams guards were going to keep hitting.

sacramento can win this series. GS was not good on the road this year, and sacramento has home court advantage. they're also an underrated team who almost nobody actually watched play this season. plus they're at their best playing at the same pace that GS wants to play at. this is going to be a very close series, and i only give GS the edge due to experience.

[LTtxfan 49142]

Kings vs GSW definitely must see TV.

Damn that was fun!!!  🎉🎉🎉

[ChiTownDoc 21139]

Now do his defense.  

[ztejas 43411]

This is why I hate ESPN's NBA coverage. This is playoffs pregame on ABC. Not first take or PTI or some bullshit. What the fuck kind of question is this?

How does anyone look at that Clippers team without PG and come away thinking they're a legitimate contender with pressure on them to do anything? 

Suns are -500 to win this series.

267th playoff game for Lebron

Russell jacking threes earrings the clock is not a good recipe

[Blotto 23486]

watching nba players run through all of their pre game dap routines is more ridiculous than watching girls softball in the dugouts.  Now get off my lawn. 

[aggie08 21481]

Generally speaking: fuck the Lakers. But Austin Reaves and co. beating "we're fine in the West" Ja Morant in the first fucking round would be pretty awesome.

Memphis looks like shit. 

[aggie08 21481]

Yeah, maybe don't go at Anthony Davis in the post. Ever. For any reason. Pretty universal truth in a league with, like, 3 guys who have a legit post game.

[ztejas 43411]

How is that a foul on Bane?

Let's go Cavs! I'm sure many NBA fans will root for Cleveland because Knicks tears are the best tears. 

I have a buddy who played for the Knicks, so I always kind of rooted for them to do okay.

Plus, I can’t root for anything from Cleveland so I won’t mind if NYK beat them.

[ztejas 43411]

Memphis' shot selection is just atrocious at times. 

I mean they're just a dumb team in general.

lulz. Davis made it almost through an entire half in the playoffs before getting hurt.

Welp. Thanks for coming, LA.

Nike releasing a commercial about Ja showing up at the gym everyday at 4am is certainly a choice.

They should release a commercial about Anthony Davis playing 60 games in a season.

[ztejas 43411]

Just a stinger for Davis I guess. Or they popped his shoulder back in.

[ztejas 43411]

Brooks has to be the worst offensive player in the league that gets significant minutes.

Reminds me of the guy OKC had a few years back. Dude couldn't throw it in the ocean.

The Memphis offense just raggedy. They won't make it out of the 2nd round.

I feel like it's such a crapshoot with these 4 teams. I took Memphis to the WCF but I wouldn't be surprised if any of them made it. SAC has looked like the best team of the 4 through 1 game. 

[ztejas 43411]

Ja really has a 10 cent head. He may have just blown the series doing that stupid shit. 

[gofuckyourself 8197]

Ja not making many smart decisions on or off the court.

Was he planning to dunk over Davis who was four feet out? 

[Blotto 23486]

Its game 1, but if you think thats the series.....ok. 

Edit, I didnt see it live, so if the injury keeps him out for the series, I guess that would be the case.

I can work with that.

If Ja just broke his hand then yes, I think that's probably the series. 

Then again AD has the potential to be out for 4 weeks at the drop of a hat. 

[ztejas 43411]

Reaves is fucking roasting these guys 😂

[Message Board User 12395]

Austin Reaves is kind of like Steph Curry, but better.

I don't see what your contention is with me calling this Austin Reaves' team.

Lakers just shitted on em

[Message Board User 12395]

Lebron and AD deferring to Reaves here in the 4th.

Right move.

ballgame.

[Baboontyme 2809]

Jackson kind of melted down there in the clutch. I'm not sure if they were playing drop coverage by design but why would you when he can switch? He went under the screen twice in a row and left Reaves wide open. Then turned the ball over twice on the other end, and then fouled AD trying to switch on the next possession. Game over. 

[Message Board User 12395]

Already without adams & Brandon Clarke, Ja being hurt is no bueno for Memphis. 

[Message Board User 12395]

Headshot!  (isn't that the name of the song that the Grizz walk out to before each game?)

 

[Baboontyme 2809]

These guys don't think anything is broken. Generally they're pretty good.

will be fascinating what kind of contract Reaves gets this summer.

Giving him a special exemption to qualify for a super max only seems fair.

Even if he comes back it already cost them a game that will probably swing the series.

In all seriousness, if AD plays, the Lakers are the better team. He was a +27 in 37 minutes with 7 blocks.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Lakers in 6.

Please be okay Giannis

[ztejas 43411]

 

 

That was gutsy from Herro. Lavine would never. 

[ztejas 43411]

Boston has to love this development.
